Chapter 269: Is he also an Internal Arts Master?

"They’re over there!" Su Yurou pointed gently with her finger.

Following the direction Su Yurou pointed, Su Zhenggang was instantly stupefied. He saw the ground covered with dust and ash, where five men were lying haphazardly—dead or what, he couldn’t tell. He hurried over and checked their breathing; thankfully, they were still alive. However, a young man among them had both of his arms twisted, and two others had their cheeks swollen so much they almost resembled pig heads. With fresh blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, they presented a rather ghastly sight at first glance.

Su Zhenggang broke into a sweat, turned his head, and looked at Leng Xuan in bewilderment. Just what kind of person was this young man? He wondered how Leng Xuan could be so gentle with Yurou, yet so cruel towards these thugs?

Leng Xuan, feeling a bit embarrassed by Su Zhenggang’s stare, unconsciously touched his nose. He, of course, understood the meaning in Su Zhenggang’s eyes, but who told them to mess with Su Yurou? After all, he already regarded Su Yurou as his sister. To him, that was a relationship of kinship. Leng Xuan grew up without parents, Old Man Leng had passed away, and even though Uncle Da Zhang was around, there was a generational gap. Thus, Leng Xuan cherished his brotherly bond with Su Yurou very much. Bullying her was akin to courting death, wasn’t it?

"Cough!" Leng Xuan said somewhat awkwardly, "Big Brother Su, you don’t mind if I call you that, do you?"

"Eh?" Su Zhenggang blinked, then shot Su Yurou a strange look, directly assuming that Leng Xuan was seeing him as the brother of his girlfriend. Although he still didn’t understand Leng Xuan thoroughly, Su Zhenggang always admired strength. Seeing Leng Xuan’s formidable skills, he had been eager to befriend him. Laughing heartily, he said, "Of course not, as long as you don’t feel wronged. I must thank you for today. Without you, the consequences are unimaginable!"

Leng Xuan gave a wry smile and said, "Big Brother Su, you’re too kind. If I had known you were coming, I wouldn’t have needed to be here."

Su Zhenggang asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Leng Xuan replied with a smile, "With your strength, isn’t dealing with those few a piece of cake? I just happened to take care of them before you arrived."

Su Zhenggang’s face flushed red. Had Leng Xuan said this before, he might have accepted the praise naturally and not thought much of it. But now, having witnessed Leng Xuan’s abilities, he felt far too inferior and responded with a self-deprecating yet humorous tone, "Are you mocking me by any chance?"

Shaking his head, Leng Xuan said, "Big Brother Su’s strength is indeed rare to see. It’s just that you might have been a bit careless just now!"

Su Zhenggang felt secretly grateful inside, realizing that Leng Xuan was trying to give him an out at every turn. How could he not understand this? Although he had indeed underestimated Leng Xuan, causing his reaction to be slower than usual, he knew well that even in a direct confrontation, he likely wouldn’t be a match for Leng Xuan.

With this thought, Su Zhenggang suddenly had an epiphany. By any standard, he had reached the peak of human physical capability, a result of his relentless training since he was three years old. But what about Leng Xuan? He seemed to be only nineteen or twenty years old. Even if he had trained diligently since childhood, he couldn’t possibly have developed such extraordinary skills, could he?
